Adjustable Tool Storage Plans - bit.ly/3J7EaaV
I think I finally nailed the drill and driver storage in my shop with this cool "adjustable" solution mounted under my cabinets. It's such a simple concept I'm actually mad at myself for not thinking of it earlier. Each hanger is held in place by (2) bolts that ride inside of some parallel T-Track. When I'm happy with the position I simply tighten it down in place.
I think this adjustable concept can apply in so many areas around your shop! What ideas do you have for this? Let me know in the comments below.

I liked the PVC holders for about 10 seconds. I think what you did is a super upgrade.
As an unsolicited suggestion, and in theme with Shop Greatness, maybe consider replacing the wing nuts with some sleeker 3d printed knobs that have a recess to accommodate the appropriate-sized hex nut. Truly awesome work, as always, love your channel!
I would suggest some vents on the charging station to help with heat dissipation on this great idea. Love adjustability on the tool hanger.
I second that, some louvered vents near the top and some near the bottom as well to allow good air flow.
You should definitely do plans for all your builds! They’re super detailed and easy to follow plus it adds to the revenue stream for your channel.
LOVE the battery storage. Really smart to have a stacking spot for the dead ones. Great stuff as usual!
A tip is to hang the tools up side down. I know some dont like to grab them like that but the advantage is that the batteries on all tools on same brand is the same thus the holder will be the same :) And when it comes to the charges you need to have ventilation. The batteries do get warm and if you got fast chargers you could easily run into thermal issues like the charger stops charging or in worst case thermal run-away. Just a side note :) With that said protecting electronics from dust is always great to do. I have mine mounted under a cabinet thus not so much is going there.
Great project as always. Hope you and the fam are well. Thank you!
Love this design with the exception of cooling for the charging as mentioned by others. I think this is the best drill holder I've seen yet, thank you for the video.
My son (9) loves your sense of humor. It’s good for me too as he’s actually interested in learning about building due to the humor….in short, good work!
Very cool!
I am currently getting ready to build my new shop. This organization will definitely make it look awesome . Thanks for an awesome video and great idea 👊🏼
I really like the update on the holders…. I’m definitely going to incorporate that in mine when I build it. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Plans now available: bit.ly/3J7EaaV
Definitely a much better upgrade then the last and it looks better too. The plans would be great to have
I'm working on building a battery charger/storage and drill/driver storage right now. I've planned it for quite a while and am finally putting it together. And now you go and design this! I guess mine will have to do until I decide I just need one like yours. Great work and ideas.
Loved it. Especially the charger & battery case/cabinet.
You asked for it, so I'll let you know EXACTLY what I thought about this video/project
10/10 great job!
I also like a tidy shop and this project looks great. As far as dust is concerned, I have mentioned before that I am convinced it is frightened to collect in your shop 🌞
I like this much better! A huge improvement that seems more your style. Thanks!
Great idea and much more cool look. About plans, it’s so well explained that I see no need for that. Tks!
I really like your upgrade. I have many power tools but I keep them in a large container but this gives me inspiration to think of a way to display them and incorporate your charging station idea. Great job and thank you for the cool content 👍🏽
My only concern would be overheating since there is no air flow. Maybe a small filter fit into the side to allow air to move freely.
With 3 batteries charging you could heat your lunch up in there for sure!
Never mind the reduced lifespan of the batteries and chargers.
I had the same thought. Otherwise it’s a really cool concept and design!
My thoughts as well. Being in Phoenix, heat is a real concern for me. :) I think a vent toward the top of the back side would take care of that though. Cut a slot, place a screen over it. but paint it black (Cyberspace) first so it will look like an accent.
That was my concern also (heat in an enclosed charging compartment). How about adding a small PC air intake fan with a good pre-filter and an exhaust louver. You could 3D print both the filter housing and louver as well.
I agree. I walked into my employers shop a few years back on a Monday morning only to find the smoke rolling out of two chargers. Thankfully they were setting on a concrete floor. An enclosed box? Bye bye shop.
I vote yes for plans
Great design. Glad to see new content and that you're doing well.
Thank you for the ideas ! Excellent job👍
This is a great video and I love the drill extending station. The battery charging station is excellent I too worry about dust on my batteries and electrical sockets. I'm trying to make my tool holders enclosed to be free from dust but also from damp cold weather. Great job good man
Great upgrade. Thanks for the idea!
Great idea to use the T track for adjustability. Keep up the great work!
I think that's a great improvement! Anything adjustable is better than anything Ridged....
Getting my garage in order and had the same thought about dusty chargers. Perfect timing for inspiration!
Great idea. 1. How about heat retention inside the cabinet? 2. I'll use this with French Cleats.
Definitely a must have for my shop redesign. Awesome design!
Dude!! You're killing it on your shop and the organization. Love it.....Keep it going!!
Love the battery charge box. 👍🏻 Keep up the great work Travis
Great upgrade!
Love the idea for the dead battery section. 👏👏👏
Nicely done!!!
Beautiful build and design! Clever way to get seamless angles for charger cover. Love the round smooth edges of dividers. A few thoughts though:
1) Have you considered a mechanism to limit how far the charger cover can fall open, as a safeguard preventing it from free falling open should it slip out of your hands?
2) It seems like it would be a little challenging to remember which tool went in to which slot since the slots vary in width. Since building this have you found yourself having to label them?
3) Wondering if there might be a better slot divider locking design using a single thumb screw in front rather than to under cabinet wingnuts for each?
I’ll take a stab at explaining one idea to consider for the slot dividers. Instead of 2 T-tracks to hold a divider, use two strips of French cleats mounted under cabinet with the angled openings facing to the rear. Each divider would have opposing French cleats. The front of each divider would have a 90° piece of material (roundover edges) attached with a single thumb screw that applies pressure pulling the divider forward, thereby squeezing the opposing French cleats together. Apply wax to the cleats. Simply slightly loosen front thumb screw to slide the dividers to adjust spacing.
Bravo! Well done Sir...well done
Great ideas. I think I might be doing the battery charging station. The adjustablity of the drills is great as well. I might be doing both.
awesome work!!! Definitely enjoy the colors you use for your shop, That darker palate look good with clean work area
You should get some after market dust collector on your miter saw. 😂
My problem would be remembering which slot was which tool, since they have to go in the spot they were adjusted for. Some labels along the top would help.
And it's already been said by many others, but I would worry about heat from the chargers as well. A computer fan with a filter and an exhaust hole with a filter on the other side would help.
Yup great call outs 👍🏼
Pretty cool!
Brilliant stuff as always
I liked it. Beautiful project .
Excellent project, like many others on your channel. I will certainly try a variation of it and try to do a video documenting it. Thank you.
Really great idea!!
this is a great idea vid and yes a great upgrade from pvc
Dude, this is awesome! This is just what I was needing. My "drill" selection has expanded with a cordless jig saw and nailer. They won't hang on the drill dock I made previously... I'm definitely building this!
GREATNESS...I love this video
Hey love everything you did, my only question is what about ventilation or cooling for the chargers? It might get hot in there and damage a battery or charger. Maybe add an exhaust fan or at least some airflow holes out the bottom. Cheers
Yeah I may add a vent if heat ends up being a concern
@@ShopNation some one else mentioned a filter too. You could add a fan/filter combo like on a computer case that way you keep dust out and air flowing.
Yes!!! I was going to say a computer fan!
Yeah. This can cause premature battery life failure, explosion, and fire. It's a RUclipsr though. They already know all this stuff, right?!
Simple filter… paper towel.
A lot of work that’s for sure. It’s super nice and well thought out. -🇨🇦
Yes Travis, produce the plans! I’ll buy them.
Yes I would
Here is an idea you just gave me. Make the battery hangers directly connected the battery terminals. Take the leads and plug into a 4 or 8 terminal relay board. It the input of the relays directly to the charger using whatever rig you want (adapter, soldering). I would have a way to monitor input current and switch between batteries using the relay board to charge them up. Turns a single charger into a 4 or 8 battery charger. Great video!
Fantastic design Travis. I think you should add the plans in with your other ones. I like the idea of it being adjustable so you could also use it to store your pneumatic tools. Just concerned about the heat in the battery charger case. Especially since I have several chargers for Dewalt and Milwaukee tools. Keep up the great designs.
Looking good
I like the idea that it can be expanded ad=bd reconfigured
nicely done!!!!
Love the content Travis 💯👍
Great project. Was sad to see the Kobalt go. I have all Kolbalt my self. 7 years running have not failed me yet.
Great idea
I didn't comb through all the previous comments (did take a quick look though) sorry if this is a duplicate.. Others mentioned an exhaust fan and filter to help keep the enclosure cool. More importantly though is the need to limit the charge time with older batteries/ chargers. Many new systems have a self-limiting circuitry to guard against over-charging and overheating/fire. Not so much with the older versions (like mine). I would suggest adding a timer that will automatically turn the chargers off after 3-4 hours. That way, if you forget to turn them off when you leave the shop, they will tend to themselves.
Another great video, keep it up.
Go VOLS!
Man! As i just glued up my T style drill hanger, THEN is see this. Might have to tear it all apart and redo it!
Nice work man. As always.
Thanks for the content.
Another great video, fits great with your shop look. And I see you even have your trim router on the drill station. Great job
Super gearbeitet, Dnke für das Video mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Germeny.
Great video,you inspired me,thinking about making a charging station thanks
Wow, cool design~! Adjustable...who'da thunk it? I can definitely see that being a nice feature. I've changed drill/driver brands myself a couple of times and the sizes of each are very different. This is definitely on my "to build" list~! I like the dust-free aspect of the battery charge station too. Something else I need for my shop.
Put me down for a yes for plans. Yet another GREAT video.
This guy is a walking salesman
Very nice. I might need to look at doing something like this vs what I currently have. Saw the instagram posts on this also. Keep up the greatness 👊
Plans for both would be awesome
Yes I'd like them
Love it
Very nice tool organizer setup. I definitely would like to buy them to build this. Seen the comments on heat build up. As a safety issue we live in a nice suburban area and one house burned down two years ago. Turns out they had an overloaded battery charger in the garage. If you haven’t already you might maybe make a vid on this. For now I flip the switch on to charge things while in the garage but when I go inside I turn it all off. Works for now.
Love your work…..
I never stopped to think about dust on my chargers. But now you’ve made me think about it and wondering if it could get bad enough to start a fire. Might start blowing them off before i get around to enclosing them. Having been burned badly in my younger years, i always worry about fire.
Complimenti ottimo video e bellissimo portautensili 👍
Genius!
I also need to make one. So yes plans would be helpful.
Now linked!
Travis, as an original follower of your RUclips Channel and a retired engineer with a just "a little" woodworking and metal & welding fabrication expertise -> excellent video project production and resultant ShopNation deliverables. One additional enclosed charging station requirement you may want to post-video communicate to your followers is the need to possibly address or design mitigate is to dissapate the considerable charger and battery heat generation during charger. As an example, my Makita chargers have fans to dissapate heat. If you don't you may impact the longevity of your charger and possibly the batteries. Your design which provides the viewable opening charger top door would or does address this, whereby a person may need to keep it open during charging to alleviate the charging heat. Otherwise, a great pat on the back to you for another fantastic shop project video !!! Wyo-up (Cowboy Up) to you. Jim, Retired Petrolem & Renewable Energy Program Engineer.
That hanger is great! Nice job. The charger box leaves me with concern over heat. All chargers have vents on them to dissipate heat from the charging process. (They wouldn't have vents if they didn't get hot.) This box looks like it provides no ventilation to vent that heat out. Maybe that heat is negligible, or maybe not. It's food for thought though.
Cool idea for sure. Like the charger case, one thing to watch, over heating the battery or charger in the case. Depending on environment you may over heat and/or shorten the life of both the charger and batteries.
This is a great design. I would love the plans.Ty
Looks good.. !!
Just some thoughts... First off, instead of building an entirely new system for adjustability, I would have fired up my hot air gun to modify the PVC holders that need to have their slots opened up a bit. I've used the hot air gun on PVC for many different needs - it's versatile and easy to work with. I get that your new system is infinitely adjustable, but I'm guessing that once you've determined how you want to arrange tools in their holders it will pretty much be a static system without further need for adjustment. If it did, the PVC can be manipulated again in a matter of minutes. I would only have used wingnuts for a couple months until you were happy with the arrangement, then swapped those out for Nyloc nuts. You could even start with Nylocs and adjust them so that the holders could be moved with a little pursuasion but basically stay in place for the time being (or install small springs under the nuts to retain tension but allow you to pull the holder downwards to shift position). Next, as several others have mentioned, I'd have installed some sort of heat dissipation system for the charging station - maybe holes in the bottom and holes in the rearmost side with something blocking the holes to allow airflor but prevent dust from getting in (old Covid masks stapled on the inside?). Finally, I get that this is totally subjective, but your choice of black in your shop not only makes the entire shop somewhat negative and not very welcoming or happy, but all the non-reflective surfaces decrease available light and visibility of everything painted that color. As you've already probably found out, wood dust (however much you try to eliminate it from your shop) stands out on a black surface worse than any other color. Sorry! ;-) One further thing - did you lock the chargers in position so you could remove batteries withing having to hold onto the chargers?
Yes Please on the plans, and the 3d printed item you used to make the rounded corners.
Great build! After watching, it seems that it would be easier to install the dividers before mounting the system under the cabinet. You could easily slide the dividers out of the while driving your mounting screws.
Love the flexibility of your design!!
It would be awesome if you made plans available 👍
I definitely like all the projects, I would be very interested in the tool organizer
I need your cool shop, to build myself an organized shop, lol
I was thinking about the charging station in my shop, looking to use gas pistons to lift the door and to seal it once closed. Love the adjustable drill hanger.
That would be sweet!
excellent et très bon travail 👍
Awesome as always. Would love to see battery hangers for Ryobi
Plans = yes please!
Dude, I just finished your shmedium workbench, I’ll have pics for ya on Instagram and sent to Etsy this next week. And this is EXACTLY what I was wanting to make for my drills to add to the cabinet section sense I’m not using that space for dust collection. Just gonna slap some drawer slides on it and boom, now I have a sliding and modular drill storage rack in the bench. Do plans on this!!!
Loved it. Especially liked the way you separated the fully charged and need to be charged batteries. One thing I noticed is, it would be nice if the chargers were elevated so you could see the blinking lights through the glass to see if the battery in the charger was finished charging.
I used a Tripp Lite 7 outlet eco surge for my chargers. Each outlet has an on/off switch, so I don't have to unplug and can turn on when needed.
